Meeting agendas & minutes

Town of Saint Germain Public Works Committee

The town board voted on May 17, 2017 to discontinue the Public Works Committee. Supervisor John Vojta was assigned primary responsibility for overseeing Public Works employees with Supervisor Doug Olson having secondary responsibility. Issues of significance pertaining to Public Works will be brought before the full town board before being acted on. Decisions on such issues will be reflected in the minutes of the town board meetings. There will be no more Public Works Committee meetings.

Town snow plowing policy:

Regular work day (Monday-Friday, 6:00am-2:30pm): Public Works will plow when there is 2" or more of accumlation. Holidays or weekends: Public works will plow when there is 4" or more of accumulation.

The start time for plow days will be determined based on the weather forecast and any other pertinent information available to the Public Works Foreman and Public Works Chairman.

Sanding, widening, and snow bank removal on town roads will be done on as needed basis with traffic safety being the primary focus.

Mailbox damage: Unfortunately, mailboxes can become a casualty of snow removal. The Town policy is that the Town is not responsible for repair or replacement if snow discharged from the plow dislodges or damages a mailbox or post. However, If Town plowing equipment physically contacts the mailbox or post, the Public Works Department will fix or replace the mailbox or post based on the extent of damage.
